Annual Fly In.

I have mentioned before that I live on an airport that has a 2200' grass strip runway.

Every year on the first weekend of May we have our annual fly in. Satuday was a rainout but today (Sunday) is wonderful weather and I took a few pictures for you to see.

First up are Stearman PT17 biplanes.

 

Next up are a T6 (Havard) and an Air Coupe.

I will have some more up soon. I have to download them from my camera and the resize them before I can post. A big task for computer challenged me.

 

Great pictures David. Must be great just to look out and see these beauties.

Now, what is that in pictures 7 & 8?

 

It's an Air Coupe (had different ways of spelling)

ERCO Ercoupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

This one is a friends Piper Cub. It had been lodging in my hanger while he painted the floor in his.

The Cub has just been pushed out of my hanger. That is the back of my house in the back ground.

 

I really must pop over for a coffee (and a nose around )

 

Added a couple more of the T 6 outside its hanger.

 

Any time you want.

 

This is a line up of some of the aircraft and also one of three of the Stearmans.

 

And finally. A biplane that I cannot identify and "Varga Girl" is an unknown quantity to me also.

I don't like to see non military aircraft painted in warbird fashion. For me its authenticity or nothing.

The 2 Stearmans in military attire that you have seen are authentic. The 2 painted in non military schemes could be made into authentic warbirds. The T6 is an authentic warbird.

I agree - unless the type was actually used don't do. It fools no-one and it isn't big or clever.

 

You are correct. We have another Starduster on the field but the military attire confused me totally.

 

Cool pics, DL. Must have been heaven to have those buzzing around.
